ROSES EVERYWHERE.

matChleSs flower. They were everywhere
in dozens of vases scattered about on
tables, cabinets, brackets and every other
available nook; in the big silver epergnes
on the supper table and sidebOard, while
the costly, great jars from the Governors
valuable collection, which the fOwer-lov-
ing Japanese stand in the corners of their
rooms to hold great boughs from blossom
ing trees and shrubs, were heaped to the
| brim with these soft masses of color and
fragrance. They were all there; all the
roses one ever knew; besides some which,

GREETING HER MAJESTY.
The Royal party arrived at 30 and at
the entrance were met by Adjutant-Gen-
eral Dalton, who led the way up the mas
sive stone steps and through the great
halls of the reception room, where the
Governor was in waiting to welcome them.
After few words of cordial greeting from
His Excellency to Her Royal Highness
and suite, the guests began to come in
from the adjoining parlors, and were pre-
scented in turn to the representatives of
royalty. Mayor O'Brien stood on the ex-
IRENE right, and was the first to receive
the guests. Next to him was Governor
Ames, then Her Majesty the Queen, Mrs.
Oliver Ames, Princess Liliuokalani, Mrs.
Hugh O'Br1en, Mr. and Mrs. BecEley and
Consul Bond.
During the reception Governor Iaukea
and Colonel Boyd of the Royal party, and
Colonel Edmunds of the Cadets, stood as a
guard of honor just behind and on either
side of the Queen. The Queen received
standing, and with pleasant smile and
stately bow greeted all who were presented
to her.
At the end of the reception the Queen,
leaning on the arm of the Governor, and
the Princess with Mayor O'Brien as escort,
made tour of the elegant house. The
Royal party then repaired to the breakfast
room, where they were joined by the Gov
ernor's Aids, and were entertained with
repast upon which caterer Dooling had
expended his best efforts.
The collation. for the general guests was
served in the dining-room down stairs,
where long tables extended the length of
the room, loaded down with all manner of
good things to eat, and a profusion of
lovely roses. Throughout the evening
Baldwin's orchestra furnished delightful
music.
WHO WERE THERE.
OF course the Governors Staff were
there to a man, and lent valuable aid to
their chief in entertaining so many guests.
They were in full uniform, as were also a
number of other military gentlemen.
There were present representatives of
nearly every leading interest in the city
the controlling spirits of political circles,
the brightest lights of the legal profession, !
brainy men and women who have won |
fame with their pens, and others whose |
eloquence has made their names known |
far beyond the city's boundaries, as well as
solid business men whose enterprise and |
wealth have made the city what it is. All |
these assembled to pay their respects to
the Queen of the island kingdom between |
which and this great republic has so long
existed the most friendly relations.
